However, one of the valuable things (for me, anyway) in previous GitTogethers is throwing all of these people together to some degree. I'm not terribly interested in day-to-day Gerrit issues, but sometimes the discussions start from some minor Gerrit annoyance, and we end up realizing that the right solution involves changes at a more fundamental layer, and all of git is better as a result. I'd hate to lose that developer/user interaction. Maybe we can be segmented for part of the conference, and then bring everybody together for other parts. I dunno. I guess that involves predicting which parts will be useful for everybody to be together. I assume we'll keep largely to the un-conference format, though, so these are issues that can be ironed out in the first hour as we see which topics people are interested in discussing. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
